[Remalle]

Make alliances with the strong, using my unique skills as a bargaining chip (unique skills include: running, hiding, screaming, crying), wait for them to get a few kills, then stab them in the back.  Find the next strong player and repeat.

That's called mugging.

I thought mugging involved Having the ranged attack.

But myself, I'm actually very handy with a Bolt-action, so I'd be alright. Add a spear so's I can fish and kill close-uns and I think I'd do just fine, as long as nobody is mid-range with a pistol or some such.

So my strat would be- Get a rifle, lay low, watch the cornucopia, wait two days, kill anybody who goes there; climb a tree and leave the rifle after every shot for about half an hour so's I can dropspear anyone coming to kill me.


Differences between Battle Royale and Hunger Games:
1. Battle Royale is a Random backpack each, with food, water and a 'weapon' (which can include chopsticks, rolled up newspaper, garbage lid, etc)
1. Hunger games is 'cornucopia', central area with heaps of weapons and food. Exact center of cornucopia is the best weapons and food, outskirts is less useful stuff. However is a massive open area.

And I can't really remember that many other differences...

Battle Royale had collars that detonated if you were within certain areas when a time period elapsed, and these areas changed every so often to incite combat between the combatants. Hunger Games used environmental hazards to force the combatants closer together. Battle Royale dropped the students in essentially unprepared, Hunger Games had a lot of pre-game coaching.

Not live in the nation that does all of this stuff?

Or is it a globe-spanning nation? I'm unsure because I've not read the books/watched the films.

Spoiler: Technically not a spoiler, but merely background information (click to show/hide)

Panem is quite a small nation actually. It spreads over a large part of North America, but global warming also took it's share. Capitol is located in the rocky mountains. District 12 somewhere in the Appalachians.

Anyway, it's quite heavily implied that the rest of the world is gone, and that Panem is the only surviving nation on the planet, with a total inhabitants of less than 1 million.

Violently rebel so as to avoid being in such a shitty poor excuse for a dystopia in the first place?
I mean, not to dump myself on even more watchlists, but that's certainly a cause for revolution.

I'm sure that no one remembers it but me, but my guy in the short lived Hunger Games RP down in FG&RP derailed things considerably because of not participating properly.

Become Arnold Schwartznegger from The Running Man.



Profit. Also carnage.

[Graknorke]

1. Run away from every problem
2. Emotionally/just regularly blackmail sponsors into getting me sweet loot.

[Loud Whispers]

Yeah nah, I'd be killed by the police almost immediately. Kiss my hand and raise a middle finger, get a bullet to the head.

On the off hand that I don't; aren't you allowed the option to possibly gain the tool/weapon of your skill? In which case, learn how to operate tanks immediately.

...
Become one of those MEC warriors from the new XCOM expansion.

[Max White]

I guess you could make a deal with the other people that at the start of the game you would just not fight them and wait for them to sort their shit out, so who ever survives the initial fray can kill you quickly and painlessly with a beheading rather than leaving you to bleed out and suffer.

Realistically I imagine most people would gladly accept such an offer, and it is a kind of win.

[Loud Whispers]

On reflection, I just realized this is a powerful way to at least ensure your chances of living to face off against the teenage self-insert.

You change the Hunger Meta-Game.

We Death Race now.

They'll just leave an item for your skill, you might not end up getting it.

The point being it doesn't matter whether or not you get it; there is now a tank in the meta-game.

[Iceblaster]

Personally, I'd become a chronic backstabber as it seems to be the best strategy if you have a bunch of gullible people who don't notice the convenient death that surrounds you.

Also, what's this talk of teenage self inserts? It becoming the new star trek for mary and gary sues and stues

I think everyone constantly has 'Well, it's not happening to me' mentality.
And then once it DOES happen to them, they're already under maximum security.

It's basically the same principles as abattoirs.
